IRIE SOL

Info Tabs

Irie Sol’s founder, Junior Williams, moved to America from Kingston, Jamaica, with the dream of starting a band that would fuse the genres (reggae, dancehall, ska, and dub) indigenous to his native island with traditional American music forms (hip hop, funk, soul, rock, and jazz). He’s “dubbed” (pun intended) the resulting music “Alternative World” to acknowledge its roots and routes in World and Alternative music and to conjure an Alternative World of global unity with music.

What does alt-reggae-dance-rock sound like? 9Tomorrows has created that sound, adding other flavors to the mix, producing a worldly yet familiar west-coast flow. Through this, 9Tomorrows shares addictive pop tendencies with other established artists, but holds a unique musical identity.

New Orleans native PeeWee Dread combines reggae, roots, dancehall music with hip hop for an original show. PeeWee has played all over the US and has shared the stage with Third World, Afroman, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Yellowman, Sister Carol, Marley Son’s, Elephant Man, Justin Hines, DMX, Tony Asher and many more. Peewee’s band Dread I Dread has twice been honored as the Minnesota Reggae Artists of the Year.
